New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy signed new legislation this week creating the option for digital driver's licenses and digital non-driver identification cards.

New Jersey citizens will now be able to flash their driver's license from their smartphones after Governor Phil Murphy signed a digital ID measure into law, joining the ranks of over a dozen other states to do so. The law also allows for digital non‑driver identification cards for those without driver's licenses.

New Jersey drivers will soon be able to show digital licenses on their smartphones under a law Gov. Phil Murphy signed Wednesday. New Jersey will join 15 other states and Puerto Rico that offer digital licenses, a goal outlined by Murphy in his State of the State address in January.
